This paper examines donors’ decisions to channel aid through non-state actors in order to avoid ineffective aid allocation to corrupt countries. By analyzing the relationship between institutional quality and the share of aid that is given to a recipient country and by looking at the absolute amounts of aid allocated through different channels, the authors observe that bypassing recipient governments appears to be a rational strategy for donors who care for poor people in weakly governed countries.
